Warnings
- The macOS (OS X) version of this game does not work on macOS Catalina (version 10.15) or later due to the removal of support for 32-bit-only apps.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is a singleplayer third-person action, open world, gambling/casino, shooter and TPS game in the Grand Theft Auto series.
The PC version allows importing music files for playback in a custom radio station. Rockstar Games has removed some music tracks from the game due to expired licenses. Downgrade to restore.
Many visual features from the original PlayStation 2 version of the game are either simplified, missing, or broken in the PC version, and exceeding 30 FPS introduces various timing issues, including game-breaking ones. There are mods available to restore these features back into the PC version; see Restorations/backports.

Version differences

- The Second Edition re-prints and Rockstar Games Launcher version have anti-modding measures to prevent major modifications to the game.[8][9]
- Steam and Rockstar Games Launcher versions lack some radio songs that were present in the retail release.[10] To restore them, see Downgrading.

Issues unresolved
Save game corruption glitches
- Some save corrupting glitches can be worked around with an online repair tool or a savegame editor.[32]
- Even though virtually every major bug has been addressed by mods such as SilentPatch, there's no guarantee that some of the rarest ones will not occur.[33][34]
German Steam version doesn't work on OS X
- The German Steam version for OS X doesn't launch.[35]
- Playing above 30 FPS causes timing-related issues.
Relevant issues
- Game-breaking bugs and glitches
- Some missions such as Amphibious Assault or Driving School missions[36] or Mike Toreno (on entering the airport) are unbeatable or incredibly difficult.
- Some cutscenes display black screen: Cleaning The Hood (after entering Crack Den building) or Cesar Vialpando (after entering to tune shop) or during robbery of betting shop (after leaving the place [+ indestructible doors by detonator with unlocked framerate]), and Vertical Bird (after entering the ship; to be more precise, the game crashes).
- Physics bugs
- Vehicles & bicycles handle like brakes are always on, decelerate almost immediately, wobbly rear ends, and seem feathered whenever in-air.
- Turning sirens on or off is much harder due to shortened timing of pressing the assigned key to do so.
- Inability to dive underwater.
- Gameplay absurdities
- The camera during stunt jumps can lock up at any moment and would never go back to normal state.
- Aiming while walking is silly.[37]
- Spray cans and fire extinguishers become lethal.[38]
- Inability to walk while aiming a rifle/desert eagle.[38]
- Climbing walls results in sudden deaths.[39]
- Vehicles and/or pedestrians move extremely fast.
- Crashes when listening to User Radio (fixed in patch 1.01).[40]
- Cutscenes not ending (black screen - described above).[38]
- Weird audio pitching when panning the camera.[41]

Accidental activation of cheat codes
- Unlike III and VC, SA uses a sophisticated hashing mechanism to recognize the input of cheats. Unfortunately, this mechanism is faulty - leading to cheats sometimes being triggered by WASD keys commonly used for movement, among many others. Unwanted activation of cheats can ruin normal gameplay and speedrun experience.[51][52][53]

- ↑ From the Readme, about the frame limiter:
This option allows the game to go faster than 30 [sic] frames per second. Be warned that this will not magically make GRAND THEFT AUTO: San Andreas run better, but rather may make your experience "more variable". We do not recommend unlocking the frame rate. If you have a fast machine, it is far preferable to increase resolution, detail options, anti-aliasing, etc. rather than trying to achieve a higher frame rate by un-locking the Frame Limiter. This will lead to a more variable gameplay experience. - ↑ GitHub - last accessed on May 2023
